Is it worth it to upgrade from the pro controller 1 to the pro controller 2 with my switch 2?
Because OG pro controller doesn’t support Bluetooth low energy protocol. 8Bitdo Pro 3 have newer bluetooth chipset.

Which is especially sad since third party controllers like the 8Bitdo Pro 3 can do this. I am sure this is something that Nintendo deliberately didn't implement / didn't update on the OG pro controller.

Into the Pro 3 boat now :D
This thing is amazing. The micro switches, charging dock, wake to shake function (working on sw2!). The only thing I am not used to, but I think will get better with time, is the back pedals, I accidentally press them.

Steam Controller: The Ars Technica review | Valve’s new hardware is solid but might not justify its $99 price.
Comparing it with the 8bitdo Pro 3, the Steam Controller does not sound like a good value. The 8bitdo Pro 3 is like $58 all the time on Amazon but $50 or less with discounts on AliExpress. Things it has over the Steam Controller: Easily swappable buttons A little lever that turns the analog triggers

Why did asymmetrical control layout become so popular? What are the benefits over symmetrical?
It became popular because it is better for modern 3D games and more ergonomic, but the symmetrical layout is generally better for 2D games. I own both types of gamepads, but definetly prefere asymmetrical for most games, but my 8bitdo pro 3 gamepad is still one of my favorites even though it has a s
